AMD is seeking a Lead Engineer, Behind-the-Meter Power Infrastructure to act as a client representative and technical validation lead for gas-to-power and behind-the-meter data center power projects.

In this role, you will review and validate end-to-end power solutions from gas supply and pipeline infrastructure through generation, alternators, BESS, substations, medium-voltage distribution, protection systems, and final delivery to the data center load. You will collaborate with developers, EPCs, utilities, gas suppliers, OEMs, consultants, and internal AMD teams to determine whether proposed solutions are technically sound, schedule-realistic, aligned with applicable permitting requirements, and capable of reaching commercial operation.

The ideal candidate is an experienced power infrastructure technical leader with demonstrated judgment from an owner/client perspective. You understand how gas supply, permitting, generation, electrical collection, substations, controls, and commissioning come together to deliver reliable power to a mission-critical data center.

You can independently evaluate assumptions, constructively identify design and schedule gaps, and translate complex technical risks into clear, evidence-based recommendations for technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

• Act as AMD's technical client representative for behind-the-meter power infrastructure projects.
• Validate the full power chain from gas supply, pipeline lateral, easements, gas quality, fuel conditioning, and gas distribution through generation and electrical delivery.
• Review reciprocating engine, turbine, alternator, BESS, switch gear, transformer, substation, and protection-system designs.
• Assess whether proposed power solutions can meet data center load, redundancy, power-quality, maintainability, reliability, and commercial operation requirements.
• Review single-line diagrams, gas-flow diagrams, basis-of-design documents, permit matrices, equipment specifications, commissioning plans, and project schedules.
• Validate gas supply assumptions, pipeline routes, right-of-way and easement status, crossing permits, gas pressure, gas quality, and backup fuel strategies.
• Evaluate generator sizing, derating, heat rate, emissions controls, alternator performance, paralleling switch gear, and maintenance strategies.
• Review medium-voltage and high-voltage architecture, including MV collectors, main power transformers, substations, ring bus design, relay protection, grounding, and islanding logic.
• Support review of grid-forming BESS, load-step response, dynamic stability, frequency control, harmonic performance, and AI workload transient behavior.
• Identify missing permits, unresolved approvals, construction-sequencing risks, equipment lead-time risks, and commissioning gaps.
• Define technical decision points for design freeze, permit clearance, initial gas delivery, initial generator operation, synchronization, load testing, islanding, failover testing, and commercial operation.
• Prepare clear technical risk summaries, executive briefings, open-item trackers, and recommendations regarding project readiness and conditions required to proceed.

• Experience in power generation, data center power infrastructure, gas-fired generation, utility systems, microgrids, industrial energy projects, or comparable complex power infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of natural gas infrastructure, including pipeline interconnects, laterals, metering stations, gas quality, pressure regulation, fuel conditioning, easements, right-of-way, and crossing permits.
• Experience with reciprocating generators, gas turbines, alternators, paralleling switch gear, emissions-control systems, continuous emissions monitoring systems, and plant commissioning, or comparable generation technologies.
• Knowledge of BESS, grid-forming inverters, islanded power systems, black start, load shedding, and non-export controls.
• Experience…
